' .Reports to . .national neadQuarters ihow that tbousaads of the Boy Scouts cf America now are In camp in Tari ons parts of the country. The en campments vary from a troop of twenty-four to a thousand boys. The lead: ers of the Boy Scouts of America ap preciate the danger of large encamp ments and for that reason announced some months ago that" they would liave no national encampment. They pointed out that It is much wiser for the boys to get their first experience la camping in small groups. "They also have sent out bulletins to the scout masters of the extreme neces sity of using all sanitary precautions in camping and warning , the scout masters not thoroughly versed in methods of having camps sanitary against taking the boys into camps of more ' than two or three days. The Illustration shows a couple of New Xork boy scouts enjoying a" feast of watermelon beside their tent. Magnetic Currents.

Henderson Ville. . N. C.r: August 21 Special: Hendersonville; the Saratoga 01 the South, is. filled to the top, -and then' some, with visitors. From all roaints of the compass tJiey have "come; And still ; there Is room . for more. August marks ' the height : of the season, when It is estimated that between 12,000 and 15.000 people from other places are visiting jn and about tnis mountain -resoru . lt is no longer a secret that Ashe- ville, the Hub of the Land of the Sfcy, is viewing with alarm the tremendous leaps and bounds that Hendersonville 13 now making In the line of progress. That settled aiof condescension 'with which Asheville greeted ; in i the past all references to Hendersonvllle's growth has given away to a feeling of apprehension, fn fact Asheville is constrained to do a ; little " hust ling" for the summer tourists' pat ronage. . Of course, Hendersonville is all smiles over the situation, and' she is not lettitng tourists leave her gates displeased. Her best foot is for ward, ' ... . ' - f Boosters.w . . To one who Is perfectly familiar with the growth of Hendersonville, it does nt seem extravagant to de scribe this town as the Saratoga of the South. Not, however, the Sara toga of "doctof ed" springs ' and "doctored" races, but the summer re sort of the well-to-do Southerner. It is des'titned to be the great summer 1 'play ground" of this section of the States. Once a summer Is spent here a taste for the placejs found to be a growing one. . , Along her broad and well paved streets one sees in the course of a day thousands of visitors, all "on plea sure bent. Her roadways are filled) with splendid automobiles and num erOUS Oiner veuiuies. raeuiuuauic is the word that rightly describes the place, when judged by the throngs of people summering here. lVIiy HendersonYilIe Grows. There are two reasons here, as else where, why the growth of Henderson ville is and promises to continue al most phenomenal. First, there are a group of enterprising and wide-awake boosters as may - be found anywhere. These men talk and write . "Hender sonville," because they believe in. it. The other reason why the town is fast growing too large for "short pants" is because outsiders, have dis covered that Hendersonville can "de liver the goods." - . Death of "Moss Backs." In other words, it is an attractive and convenient place at which to buy a lot and build. Until recently cer tain old "moss backs" of the com munity resented In a manner highly disagreeable the moving' in of any "rank outsiders." They, left no stone untiirned, in the efforts to keep people, from other States who con templated taking hoarders from get ting suitable residences. But fortun ately the old "moss backs" have had their day. The land "booster is everywhere In evidence. On trees, on hill sides, in vehicles, ubiquitous, stand forth in flaring letters the sign. "Buy a Lot." "Dirt" used to be cheap here. It Is not dear yet.but it will be soon. The great Improvemnts the town is making In a civic way are having . their, inevitable effects Prop erty is increasing daily in price. Like fairy homes there are spring ing up on hill sides around and about the, town, clubs, where for a few dol lars Per week, one may rent a cottag and enjoy the great community club house. These clubs have proven to beigooi investments and are always filled to their capacity.There are many prom inent South Carolinians whose names are on the club rolls. Other clubs are contemplated. v v ' A $100,00 Hotel. If report be true, in another year Hendersonville will boast of a -splendid and co3tly hotel. Out at Laurel Park, called "the most beautiful na tural park in America," it is proposed now. to erect, a $100,000 hotel in time for next season. The small 'Re treat" at Laurel Park has thus far turned away more than 400 persons because of lack of room. Along the popular promenades, of an afternoon.' one sees' the faces of scores-, of Charlestonians and other South Carolinians. ... It is not unlikely that the Saratoga of the South owes muph of her " hustle" and attractive ness to the fact that she is the sum jt "home of so many South Caro linians. J. K.,Jr. Federal Ilighways for Jiorth Carolina. If a bill introduced in the senate by Senator Cullom, of Illinois, be comes a law, seven great highways all- 6riginating in , Washington and radiating to the various sections of the country, will be constructed by the Federal-Government. These sev-1 en roads would pass through; all but six state, v J ' North Carolina would be .favored, by securing two of the great high ways should the bill pass congress. The Monroe National Interstate High way 'vould extend from Washington to Austin, Texas, via New Orleans. It is stipulated that this road should go by way of Charlottesville,' Va., through Norths Carolina to Atlanta. The Lee National Inter-state High way is another of the proposed roads which would extend from Washington to Jacksonville and Miami, Florida The bill provides that this road shall i extend by . the ' most direct route through Virginia viav Richmond, .North Carolina jvia Chrleston, thence jto sav annah and Jacksonville.

Mr. James remarked that ' he "did not; think so much of this place on nassing through several : times, but that since he had , spent f sometime here he had been forced to admit that ft was a most delightful place to visit for rest, recreation, 1 or most knythine: that "went to makeup the sum total .f human happiness. CEMJ.IAL HIG1IWAT. - ' It is very Dleaslnu:. indeed, to know that the people throughout 'the aoath nd a great many,from bthe.ecUon, of the country are flocking to the dif- ferent resorts in western North Caro- Una and this- season hai been an unusnaliv nrosneroua season with all the resorts in all that mountain coun- try. Our-own North Carolina people are recognizing more and more every day that we have the most beautiful scenery, the purest water, the finest climate"in western 'North -Carolina that can be found in any part ot the United States. - ; ' For a unmber of years the Psresby- terian church of the south has had a famous: resort at Montreat, near Black Mountain..

They are now making preparations to build a large, up-to- date hotel and a number of boarding houses, in order to accomodate the people next year, in fact, when wes- tern North Carolina builds a system great land to supply cheaper daily the of roads, which they are now doing, markets of the nation.

The . man who owns treat. - , a small farm and one ox la doing more to build roads in the mountains than the ordinary man in Piedmoat;. North Carolina who is worth $25,000 or $50,000. They are going to have good roads. Probably the most dlmcult piece of road on the Central Highway s ia a stretch of between 7 and 8 miles be tween Old Fort and the top , of the mountain at the Buncombe county line. It is really too big a job for one township and the result is that Rev. B. W. Spillman, who is at the. head of Bluemont, agreed the other j day that they , would build .one mile of road from the Buncombe county line in McDowell toward Old Fort if some body else would bulid a mile. A far mer out in the woods asked him if he meant business. He said that he did, so Mr. Pratt, the mountaineer said he would build a mile and would com mence at once. The result 4s he is now . grading' his mile of road and a number of other mountain men who are poor have- agreed to contribute at- much aa $200 a piece toward build ing this road and the result is that a poor pejp'e wh-. have pluck and; am bition are going to build the most difficult piece of road on the 'Central Highway and are going to do it in a short time. I am afraid some of the rich counties like 'Davidson, Orange, Catawba and Burke are going to fall behind that poor section of country in building the most difficult piece of road "on the entire line of the Central Highway. ' There are no better peo ple anywhere than these mountain people and when, they decide to do a thing they do it. I'wish that our folk in Davidson county who have money had some of . the same kind of grit that is being displayed by these mountaineers in Old Fort township McDowell, count If they did.' we would have better roads in Davidson county and we would have them soon.
